Possible new enlisted pay grades in the US military

[dcfowler]

The US Army is considering pushing for the addition of E-10 and E-11 paygrades, with the intention of creating new command sergeant major ranks with higher pay for CSMs at the division and higher levels.

The DOD and the other services would have to get onboard with the proposal.

So in this forum we can start speculating on the insignia, and maybe the titles. More rockers (like the Marines?). More elaborate combinations of stars and wreaths between the chevrons and rockers?

"Command Sergeant Major" at E-10, "Senior CSM" at -11?

Well, I suppose ANY forum is a field (or even a sandbox) for various speculations. So, why not? Particulalry, if anything to be discussed has some official or semiofficial background)
And again, does anybody know where is Pavel? I've sent a lot of mails to him, couple times even tried to call him, but - alas - failed. Any idea? We didn't see him for almost 2 years already...
